SING-OUT SISTERS

By Lou Varricchio lou@addison-eagle.com MIDDLEBURY Ñ A new report places Vermont near the bottom of the list of 50 states when comes to tax competitiveness.

The report is not good news for the stateÕ s Democrats which have been battling outside perceptions of the Green Mountain State as being unfriendly to business.

The 2015 State Business Tax Climate Index, released last week by the nonpartisan Tax Foundation of Washington, D.C., puts VermontÕ s overall tax environment in 46th place. In the report, first is best, 50th is worst. VermontÕ s property tax did worse, scoring 48 out of 50.

While a somewhat arcane report of interest to corporate officers, investors, and some legislators, the Tax Climate report measures how well-structured each stateÕ s tax code is by analyzing over 100 tax variables in five CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

MIDDLEBURY Ñ There will be a free community dinner, Thanksgiving Day, at the VFW in Middlebury, between noon- 3 p.m. The dinner is none other than DonÕ s Annual Thanksgiving Dinner, made possible with lots of help from the community.

Except for the past two years, there was an annual Thanksgiving dinner in Middlebury for 30 years; first the VFW put on the dinner for 20 years, then Craig Bingham took over and ran the meal for the next 10 years. Now community member Don Welch has picked up the torch and will be carrying on the tradition.

Last Thanksgiving, when his family mentioned how they would love to donate time doing community service on Thanksgiving, Don immediately seized the opportunity. The next day Don fabricated a plan for hosting the annual, free, Thanksgiving dinner. He started a CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

More landowners onboard for Addison pipeline

By Lou Varricchio

lou@addison-eagle.com MIDDLEBURY Ñ Despite ongoing protests by anti-fracking activists, Vermont Gas is proceeding full-steam ahead on acquiring landrights for its Addison County pipeline extension.

Vermont Gas officials announced last week that the company has reached agreements with 98 percent of landowners located along the nearly 66.3-kilometer-long pipeline corridor.

Translated into numbers, Vermont Gas said 98 percent means that 160 out of 164 property owners have okÕ ed the Addison Natural Gas Pipeline right-of-way.

Ò I am grateful to the landowners who have worked with the company to reach agreement. This process requires commitment and attention, and I want to thank them for their hard work and effort,Ó said Don Rendall, Vermont Gas CEO. Ò Where possible, we will continue to work with remaining landowners to try to reach agreements.Ó Rendall is on record as stating that completion of the underground pipelineÑ which will carry imported, Canadian natural gasÑ is on schedule.

For the project to move ahead by late 2016, acquisition ofÑ or accessÑ to 100 percent of the right-of-way must be completed.

Rendall said that 4,000 households and businessesÑ as well as schools in Middlebury, Bristol, Vergennes, and New HavenÑ along with Porter Hospital, will be served by the gas pipeline. Ò When I joined Vermont Gas about a year ago, I was laser focused on getting our Addison expansion project on track on time and on budget. I also committed to improving landowner negotiations by setting a new standard for this work. This project is so important to Addison County and our state because it will give thousands more residents and businesses the choice of cleaner,

more affordable and reliable natural gas,Ó Rendall said.

Rendall also noted that the project is Ò on time and on budget.Ó Pictured below: Despite ongoing protests by anti-fracking activists, Vermont Gas is proceeding full-steam ahead on acquiring landrights for its Addison County pipeline extension.

Saints earn win against the Mustangs RUTLAND Ñ The College of St. Joseph menÕ s basketball team earned a win against Central Maine CC on Nov. 11, with a final score of 78-72. The Saints came back from an 11 point deficit in the first half to secure the victory, relying on their hard-nose defense and overall gritty play.

CSJ ended up with four players scoring double digits, led by Jallah Tarver, who was able to accumulate 17 points throughout the contest.

The 6-foot-3 Tarver transferred to CSJ from Herkimer College this year. Josh McAfee, Kyle Houston, and Kareem Brown all scored in the

teens as well. McAfee went into WednesdayÕ s game with 11 straight from beyond the arc.

Central MaineÕ s Carrington Miller led all scorers with an impressive 31 points. He was also unstoppable on the boards, accumulating 15 rebounds, 9 of which were offensive.

The Saints struggled with the size of the Mustangs, getting outrebounded 34 to 52. The Mustangs also had more assists, second chance points, and points in the paint than the Saints by a wide margin. The reason CSJ was able to pull out the victory was because of their energized and determined defense.

The Saints forced the Mustangs to commit a devastating 21 turnovers throughout the game, and they took advantage of their opportunities on the other end of the floor. CSJ ended up with 23 points off of turnovers, compared to Central MaineÕ s 12. In the end, the Saints were simply too resilient for the Mustangs to endure.

Odd reversals Thanksgiving for everyone O T

hanksgiving is a day to be thankful for our national bounty and the precious gifts that our Constitution provides us as citizens of this, the greatest nation on Earth. And with Veterans Day just passed, itÕ s also a day to thank a veteran and take stock of how well weÕ re doing in the compassion department, especially when it comes to treatment of our servicemen and women.

According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban DevelopmentÕ s Annual Homeless Assessment Report to Congress, 49,993 veterans were homeless on any given night in 2014. This is a national disgrace.

According to writer and veterans advocate Catalina Lehmann, Ò Forty four percent of all homeless veterans across the country live in California, Florida, Texas, and New York. California alone is home to 24 percent of our nationÕ s homeless veteran population.Ó Ironically, many of these states do a far better job welcoming illegal immigrants into their arms than they do AmericaÕ s own veterans.

Lehmann has uncovered some disturbing facts that have shocked and angered me, especially when it comes to contrasting CaliforniaÕ s treatment of its huge homeless veteran population alongside that of its lavish treatment of illegal immigrantsÑ including its own above-the-law Sanctuary City of San Francisco. Ò California is known for bending over backwards to give its illegal alien residents unprecedented privileges and benefits. Many of our veterans have been cast out on the street while illegal aliens are gaining access to Social Security, Medicare, housing programs, and several other benefits. When President Obama an-

nounced his executive order on immigration, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said the following: Ô ItÕ s absurd, the things Obama thinks he can get away withÉ Taking money away from American war heroes, veterans who served this country bravely and proudly, and handing it over to people who arenÕ t even American citizens...Õ Ó While Veterans Day 2015 is behind us now, this Thanksgiving Day letÕ s reach out to our local veterans with more than just kind words.

How about invite a veteran you know to Thanksgiving dinner? Or maybe offer to drive a veteran to a local community or church meal? A simple phone call to a vet you know means a lot, too.

This Thanksgiving, please be thankful about our freedoms and remember all of our older and younger men and women who have served our country and protected these freedomsÑ especially those who have returned home from the War on Terror.

More importantly, in the public arena, letÕ s not forget whatÕ s fair and just when it comes to American citizens. Perhaps our veterans can find a welcoming place at Thanksgiving tables in every American community, even in radically political Sanctuary Cities such as San Francisco?

WeÕ ll turn to Cataline Lehmann for a few parting words on this subject: Ò Our nation should address the needs of our veterans instead of contemplating ways to give taxpayer benefits to illegal aliens. That is not what our veterans fought for.Ó The Vermont Eagle

GOLM To the Editor: As a lifelong resident of Rutland County, IÕ ve long appreciated the way this community works together when the chips are down, or when a challenge confronts us as a community. ItÕ s one of the reasons I love this time of year, when the greater Rutland area demonstrates its amazing sense of camaraderie at the Gift-of-Life Marathon.

For the past 12 years, I’ve donated blood, volunteered to help and witnessed the selflessness of the people of our community. I’ve watched grandmothers, moms with their first-time donor teenaged son or daughter donate alongside police officers, nurses, construction workers, linemen, teachers, lawyers, doctors, students and firefighters.

I’ve seen things that moved me each time, including couples on their first date last year at Castleton University, school aged students wanting to be a part of something bigger by volunteering their time, and every high school within a 30 mile radius volunteering together to make the event a huge success. The drive has given me memories that IÕ ll cherish forever, while giving blood recipients not only memories, but the opportunity to create new memories thanks to the gift of life they received from an anonymous donor.

As the 2015 GOLM Ð 12 Days of Giving approaches, IÕ ve already made my appointment to donate and found several opportunities to volunteer. ItÕ s my way of welcoming the holiday season, giving back to my community and giving a gift to pay forward.

Bonnie OÕ Rourke Rutland Town

ur world felt a seismic shift last week after the terrorist raid in Paris that killed far too many. Couple that event with the definite proof that terrorists in fact did down the Russian airliner a few weeks ago, killing all 224 on board.

Finally we are seeing nations taking significant steps to put an end to the unspeakable terror weÕ ve witnessed with increasing regularity throughout the world.

During my life time, IÕ ve known the United Dan Alexander States of America to be the worldÕ s leader in addressing hotspots around the world. We Thoughts from learned the hard way many years ago, we Behind the Pressline could not turn our back on world issues as, sooner or later they would land on our shores and it was always more prudent to face them on our terms and before they became too large to handle.

Such is not the case currently despite the threats and attacks weÕ ve seen both at home and abroad.

Perhaps our reluctance to fully engage is just not how we view our role any longer. Perhaps politics have driven our nation so far beyond common sense and finding common ground that we no longer have the ability nor the stomach to lead as we once did.

Consider this: Gun violence in this country, not committed by criminals or gangs, but by a few deranged, unstable, or suicidal individuals has caused many in this country to seek the banishment of guns and ammunition ownership by private law biding citizens. The fear being what the guns and ammo may do to innocent citizens.

Now as we consider allowing Syrian refugees a free pass into the nation another group of many fear a few among the refugees are terrorists in disguise who seek to conduct their rein of terror within our midst. Just like the guns, we are told by leading law enforcement officials there is no way to verify the intention of every refugee no more than they can predetermine the few already among us who might choose to kill innocent men, women and children.

It seems to me both of these groups are making the same argument but in opposite directions strictly for political gain.

ItÕ s hard to understand how any countryÕ s citizen can turn a weapon or bomb against their own countrymen. But during this rein of terror we are seeing just that across the world landscape as young men and women are being radicalized and turning their anger on their own people.

Their is no rationale or legitimacy that makes any form of deadly violence committed against innocent victims acceptable. That should be the common sense and common ground we should all be able to agree on.

Yet political alliances in our governing bodies seems to take precedence before citizen safety and good judgment.

There was a time in this nation when, threatened by outside forces, we were able to set aside political differences and act for the good of the country making the safety of our citizens and the nationÕ s future our highest priority.

Those of us old enough to remember those days can only hope our leaders havenÕ t placed their interests before ours and a lesson once learned the hard way, need not be learned again.

TiME CAPSuLE — New England’s oldest man ever to be photographed was Conrad Heyer. Born in 1749, Heyer was 103 when this photograph was taken.

This means that the photograph was taken roughly around 1852 although it wasn’t one of the earliest photo taken. Heyer was born in Maine and served in the Continental Army under George Washington during the Revolutionary War, crossing the Delaware with him and fighting in other major battles.

Police Beat Bristol woman charged NEW HAVEN Ñ On Oct. 18, the Vermont State Police came upon a motor vehicle crash on U.S. Route 7 in New Haven.

Police discovered that a vehicle had travelled off the road, hit a guard rail, and travelled down a steep embankment. No one was with the vehicle and the vehicle was heavily damaged.

After a brief investigation it was discovered the vehicle belonged to Mikela Dietrich, 21, of Bristol.

Dietrich was contacted by police at her apartment.

Driver missed Maplefields’ entrance NEW HAVEN Ñ Vermont State Police responded to an accident at 1908 Ethan Allen Highway in New Haven where a reported motor vehicle complaint was made by a Vermont Fish and Wildlife officer.

Police said that Cabdiqaani Kadawe, 20, missed the two entrances to the Maplefields parking lot and drove into a culvert and then over the lawn before parking his vehicle.

A VSP investigation revealed that Kadawe was operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of both alcohol and drugs.

Kadawe provided a preliminary sample of his breath and his BAC was measured at .014 percent. Kadawe was subsequently taken into custody and transported to the VSP New Haven Barracks where he was processed for suspicion of DUI drugs.

“A big part of our job is to encourage giving,” said Stuart Comstock-Gay, president & CEO of the Vermont Community Foundation of Middlebury.

New guide is timely for the giving season MIDDLEBURY Ñ Just in time for the giving season, the Vermont Community Foundation has published Opportunity: Ò 11 Critical Paths for Philanthropy in Vermont, a new resource to help guide potential donors as they consider which organizations or programs to support.

Opportunity identifies 11 issue areas that present especially strong opportunities for charitable giving in Vermont right now.

These issues are the challenges that Vermonters think about every day and include bringing quality education to all residents, cleaning up our rivers and lakes, expanding affordable housing, and tackling substance abuse, among others.

The 40-page publication offers background on each issue and highlights some successful approaches already underway in towns and cities across the state. Ò A big part of our job is to encourage giving,Ó said Stuart Comstock-Gay, president & CEO of the Vermont Community Foundation. Ò This new tool will help show Vermonters how their gifts can help right now. We think it can be a useful guide for

families making donations during the holidays and throughout the year.Ó Comstock-Gay acknowledges that no list of this kind could ever hope to be definitive or comprehensive. He says that in coming up with the recommendations, the Community Foundation reviewed studies, articles, and reports that shed light on whatÕ s working and whatÕ s not; talked with people throughout the state who work on a wide variety of issues; evaluated its own grant programs; and looked at which organizations its own fundholders support.

Comstock-Gay said, Ò Our hope in publishing this report is to spark dialogue about what philanthropy can do, and to stimulate new thinking about the opportunities that exist today to help our communities thrive. Some people will be inspired to give to the programs discussed in the report. Others can use it as a springboard for discussions about the hundreds of other worthy programs in the state.Ó

Tax competitiveness From page 1

different categories: corporate, individual income, sales, property, and unemployment insurance taxes.

This yearÕ s most competitive states include: Wyoming (1), South Dakota (2), Alaska (3), Florida (4), Nevada (5), Montana (6), New Hampshire (7), Indiana (8), Utah (9) and Texas (10).

Among all the New England states, only New Hampshire received kudos for its business-friendly and individual tax climate.

This yearÕ s least competitive states include: New Jersey (50) New York (49), California (48), Minnesota (47), Vermont (46), Rhode Island (45), Connecticut (44), Wisconsin (43), Ohio and D.C. (42), and Maryland (41).

Least tax-competitive state such Vermont are governed by majority Democratic legislatures.

According to Tax Foundation spokesperson Colby Pastre, Ò States are punished (in the report) for overly complex, burden-

www.addison-eagle.com some, and economically harmful tax codes but are rewarded for transparent and neutral tax codes that do not distort business decisions. A state’s ranking can rise or fall significantly not only because of its own actions, but also because of changes or reforms made in other states.Ó Pastre said that the goal of the Tax Climate Index is to Ò start a conversation between taxpayers and policy makers about how their states fare against the rest of the country.Ó The annual report helps answer the questions, Pastre said. Ò How well is your tax code structured? How competitive is your state compared to the rest of the county? Are businesses in your state spending too much time complying with onerous tax provisions? Are you double taxing things you shouldnÕ t?Ó Ò Substantive state tax reform has gained a lot of momentum over the past few years,Ó said Tax Foundation Policy Analyst Jared Walczak. Ò The stagnation of our federal tax code means that policy makers are turning to state codes to boost their national and global competitiveness. The state codes are ripe for reform and, itÕ s encouraging to see many states taking action.Ó

Thanksgiving dinner From page 1

not-for-profit organization named Don’s Annual Thanksgiving Dinner, raised money, and collected donations of food. The community has banded together to help with the meal, as the turkeys are donated by Misty Knoll Farms, the hall donated by the VFW, and community members have donated 60 lbs of local pumpkins, 100 lbs of squash, and 100 lbs of potatoes. Also, monetary donations have been vital in making this dinner possible; Don so far has raised $875, with $500 coming from the Middlebury Lions Club, and private donations and small businesses making up the rest. Ò Everything is coming together very wellÓ , Don said, before joking, Ò My only stress is that I will have too much help!Ó Although he was joking, Don will be helped by a horde of family, and community members, all donating a mixture of time, food, and effort.

Some of the helpers will be the Rubright family, owners of Middlebury Bagel and Deli.

Jim Rubright and his family will be cooking all of turkey, stuffing, gravy, and rolls in preparation for the meal. The meal will consist of all the Thanksgiving favorites; there will also be 30 pies, all homebaked. Ò The only thing coming from a can is the cranberry sauceÓ , Don said.

If you are planning on attending, Don asks that you call ahead of time just so they can better prepare. Around 200 people attended dinners in the past, but he wasnÕ t sure how many would attend this year. Ò My hope is to reach out to the people who need itÓ , Don said.

He mentioned that the dinner is for those who need it, and also any community members who find themselves alone or looking for a fantastic Thanksgiving meal. Not only will he be providing the meal at the VFW, but DonÕ s group will also be delivering food locally to those who canÕ t make it to the meal.

The meal is open to the public, and is a true community event. Although the dinner is free, there will be a box for donations at the VFW, and checks can be made out to Ò DonÕ s Annual Thanksgiving DinnerÓ , and sent to 1651 U.S. Route 7 North, Middlebury 05753. All donations will go towards the meal, and any extra money will be reinvested into upcoming dinners. Don not only will be hosting this annual event, but also hopes to set up meals for Easter and Christmas next year.

Rutland students receive new dictionaries

By Lou Varricchio

lou@addison-eagle.com RUTLAND Ñ For nearly a quarter of a century, Rutland South Rotary Club members have made the English language a priority. Every year members raise funds to purchase new dictionaries for Rutland-area elementary school students.

This year, third graders in all eight schools of the Rutland Region school district received handy dictionaries to aid them in every subject from English to science.

According to Rotarian Peg Bolgioni, the club has focused on local third graders because they are at an important moment in their reading development. Ò At this juncture, they will spend less time learning to how to read, and spend more time reading to learn,Ó Bolgioni said. Ò The reading strategies they are taught at this levelÑ making connections, visualizing, determining importanceÑ will give them the reading skills that can last throughout their lives.

According to Bolgioni, Rutland South Rotarians visited the classrooms and presented the dictionaries to the students. Ò It is their personal dictionary they can use in school or at home,Ó she said.

During class time the Rotarians asked the children to look up words, recite the definitions, and use them in a sentence.

Bolgioni said that the eight Rutland County Schools participating in the program are Barstow Memorial, Christ the King, Clarendon Elementary, Proctor Elementary, Rutland Area Christian School, Rutland Intermediate School, Rutland Town School, and West Rutland School.

PiCTuRED AT RiGHT: Mrs. Mee’s Third Grade students at Rutland intermediate School display their new dictionaries thanks to the Rotary Club’s Project Dictionary.

Rutland County Humane Society

COCO 9 Year Old. Neutered Male. Pit Bull.

If you want to laugh, smile and giggle all at the same time youÕ ll have to stop by and meet me. You see, IÕ m just a great dog.

I love to play with toys (squeaky toys are my favorite) and will happily carry them around. I also like to play tug with them.

IÕ m very outgoing and friendly and I enjoy being with people. I love going for walks and I have nice leash manners so I hope lots of walks and hikes are in my future. I love treats, too, and can catch them in mid air. If youÕ re looking for a happy and loving fella to be your new best friend and walking partner please stop by and say hello.

CANDY 11 Year Old. Spayed Female. Domestic Short Hair. Black.

I came in on Nov. 10, because my previous owners had a change in lifestyle. I am now being housed in a community cat room here

www.addison-eagle.com at RCHS where I am playing the role of the official room greeter extraordinaire. I prefer to be inside and can you blame me?

It is getting cold outside. I get nervous at times, but once I get to know you, everything will be great. Come in soon and we can get to know one another.

BOO 2 Year 9 Month Old. Neutered Male. Italian Mastiff.

IÕ m a big (did I mention big?), handsome fella who will add a whole lot to your life and family. I like going for walks and enjoying the fresh air and sunshine. I am using a no-pull harness since IÕ ve been at RCHS and itÕ s helping me walk better on leash. While I donÕ t need a lot of exercise I tend to get into things when I donÕ t get enough so walks and other play time will be important for me. I look forward to meeting new people and going new places and enjoying the world around me.

ATILLA 1 Year Old. Spayed Female.

Domestic Short Hair. Black.

I have lived with and am good with other cats and children. I have no known history with dogs.

I have lived inside and outside, but I have been contemplating the thought of a warm inside only

Addison County MIDDLEBURY Ñ Hilda. 3 years, Spayed Female, DSH Black & White.

Meet Hilda the cat, a curious, playful gal that came to Homeward Bound as a pregnant stray in 2014.

Not only did this super mom take excellent care of her kittens, she nursed two other litters of orphaned kittens to boot.

This special kitty deserves a Hilda home for the holidays. During our Ò Black Cat AppreciationÓ event (Nov. 24-Dec. 5), all black cats and kittens are available by donation only!

Michelle Shubert Homeward Bound Addison CountyÕ s Humane Society 236 Boardman St. Middlebury, Vt. 05753 802-388-1100 home where I can be snuggled and played with as much as possible, especially with the weather changing and getting colder. I am

an exceptionally pretty lady that will turn into a cuddle bug once we get to know one another.
